El Dr. Manuel A. Fernández-Rojo, del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) en Madrid y la Universidad de Queensland en Australia, dará un seminario titulado «Dietary Regulation of Liver Regeneration». Tendrá lugar el 3 de octubre de 2024, a las 12:00 PM, en la sala de seminarios.

Resumen:. Elevated mortality in liver transplantation-waiting list, clinical complications and scarcity of paediatric liver-donors warrant alternatives to liver transplant for treating paediatric-chronic liver diseases (CLD). Liver’s unique intrinsic capacity to regenerate damaged tissue constitutes a potential approach. However, CLD hinders
